On Monday, January 13, Hall took to his Instagram Story with a sweet snap of the pair sitting by a fire. The post doubled as a birthday tribute for Gabrys, who turned 35. “Happy 35th to this real life 😇,” he wrote over the picture.According to a Us Weekly source, the pair has been “happily dating for some time” after meeting in Nashville. “Josh wasn’t trying to date, but he met someone, and it was a perfect match,” they revealed.The insider also noted that Hall is “trying to live a more private life”‘ and has “no desire to be a celebrity” following his split from his former flame in July 2024. “He hasn’t made a show of the relationship, but it’s not a secret,” the source added. “He is very happy with his life and looking forward to 2025 and what’s on the horizon.

According to Daily Mail, the Christina on the Coast star and LaRocca were also seen at a holiday party in Laguna Beach last December.For those just catching up, Hall and Haack began dating in July 2021 and tied the knot in April 2022. After nearly two years of marriage, they both filed for divorce in July 2024, citing “irreconcilable differences.” However, their split has been anything but smooth, with Haack recently revealing the two are “not even close” to finalizing their divorce.
During an appearance on Jeff Lewis Live on Sunday, January 12, the Flip or Flop alum shared, “We’re going to be going to trial, I hear,” explaining Hall allegedly “doesn’t want to do mediation.”This isn’t Haack’s first high-profile breakup.
